Background Information
On September 14, 2020 the City of North Port Planning Division received a request to designate the ‘Sabal Trace Redevelopment Area,’ consisting of approximately 207.5 acres north of Greenwood Ave., south of Appomattox Dr., west of Sumter Blvd, and east of North Port Blvd, as a brownfield pursuant to the Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Act, F.S. 376.80. This request has been coordinated through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the purpose of arsenic remediation on the site. One of the requirements of the Brownfield program is that a community meeting is held and that this is announced at a scheduled meeting of the local governing body. This agenda item has been requested by the applicant, Sabal Trace Development Partners, LLC. to meet this requirement. The applicant will also provide a brief presentation on the brownfield designation process.
